without his knowledge, the Minister may waive compliance
with the foregoing requirements in regard to the locking

of the silence cabinet, and of the auxiliary apparatus.

(3) If at any time while the provisions of this regulation are in
force there shall in respect of any ship in harbour be a failure to
comply with any of the provisions of this regulation the owner and
master thereof shall be guilty of an offence against this regulation,
and such owner and master and any person committing a breach of
this regulation shall be severally liable on summary conviction to a
fine not exceeding £1,000.

(4) Whenever at any time while the provisions of this regulation
are in force the Minister has reasonable cause to believe or suspect
that any breach of this regulation has been committed on board any
ship while in the territorial waters of New Zealand or in harbour, he
may give notice in writing to the Collector of Customs at any port
in New Zealand to detain the ship under section 205 of the Post and
Telegraph Act, 1928, until the sum of £1,000, or such smaller sum
as may be specified in the notice, has been deposited with the Collector
of Customs by or on behalf of the owner of the ship.

(5) If on the receipt of that notice, or at any time within three
months thereafter, the ship is found within such port, the Collector
of Customs shall withhold the certificate of clearance of the ship,
under section 35 of the Customs Act, 1913, until and unless the afore-
said sum is deposited with him or the aforesaid notice of detention
is withdrawn.

(6) If within six months after the date of the offence in respect of
which the ship has been detained a conviction for that offence is
obtained against any person, the sum so deposited shall be available
for the satisfaction of any fine and costs imposed and awarded by the
conviction, and the residue, if any, shall be returned to the person
by whom or on whose behalf the deposit was made.

(7) If within the period of six months aforesaid no such conviction
is obtained, the sum so deposited shall be returned to the person by
whom or on whose behalf it was deposited.

(8) The countermanding of a notice that the provisions of this
regulation are in force shall not affect the liability of any person for
an offence committed before the publication of such countermanding
notice.

    tions, the inspecting officer shall give to the master or owner of the
    station notice in writing pointing out the deficiency. A copy of
    such notice shall be given to the Customs officer at any port at which
    the ship may seek to obtain a clearance or transire, and the ship shall,
    as provided by the Shipping and Seamen Act Wireless Regulations,
    be detained until a certificate under the hand of any such
    inspecting officer is produced to the effect that the ship is properly
    equipped or provided with an installation and operators, radio
    signallers, and/or watchers in conformity with the regulations.
